  1. Hi kkumar.. Yes 10th class passing certificate should work as proof of birth for Indians. It should have your name and atleast one of your parent's name.
  2. Okay... thats unfortunate. i have my ceremony in Brisbane today and was planning to apply for passport straightaway as I have overseas travel plans coming up. Didnt anticipate there will be a wait for citizenship certificate as well
  3. Congratulations Red Rose. Are you able to apply for a passport using the ceremonial certificate they provided you?
  4. Hi Sheravanan, It depends on the council. Some councils provide letter by post only, some provide by email or some provide both. For e.g. Brisbane City Council (where I applied) send letter only by post. The IMMI account status will NOT change after ceremony letter is dispatched. Hope that helps!
  5. When I asked my case officer, he said they usually run police checks before status changes to "Approved". Its straightforward in some cases, but sometimes it does take more time .So, it is normal to not hear from them. Unfortunately, you'll not get any updates until its approved, so it can get a bit frustrating if the wait is too long.
  6. Hi Brisbane folks, Has anyone received ceremony invitation for 29th April ceremony by Brisbane City Council yet? They send invitation by mail only and I am wondering if I'll be part of it. Ideally, I should have received by now if I am in the list but I have seen some comments earlier that they usually send invitations upto 2 weeks before ceremony. Tried contacting council directly and DOHA but nobody is ready to give any info
  7. Yes... every email that comes in your IMMI inbox comes to your correspondence email as well. So, I received request for info via email. But once you submit the info, there is no acknowledgement that the info has been received and department doesn't answer any specific case related questions. Its just a waiting game unfortunately after submitting additional info
  8. Hi All, Update from my side: Date Applied: 09/03/2018 City/Council Area: Brisbane City Online/Paper: Online Date received the acknowledgement email: 09/03/2018 IMMI Request for more info - 18/02/2019 (Asked for birth proof as my birth certificate doesnt have name, provided an option to submit high school certificate for Indian Nationals - It must have your name, DOB and name of at least one parent)- Submitted high school certificate the same day Date of Citizenship appointment letter - 11/03/2019 (For test on 09/04/2019) - I changed it to 13/03/3019 Date of Citizenship Test: 13/03/2019 Date of Approval: 13/03/2019  Date of Ceremony: Pending After I completed my test, the officer told me that he ran a police check and its cleared so he should be able to approve today itself. It was approved 15 mins later. He said I will receive a letter of confirmation by mail and Brisbane City Council with send ceremony invitation by mail. So, if my address changes until then, I should inform the department. Brisbane City Council typically shares ceremony dates and number of vacancies closer to the ceremony date and then IMMI sends them list of people who are in the queue. That's how they decide ceremony dates. Hope that helps.

  10. Hi Guys - I just received request for more information. They've requested birth certificate which I dont have, so they have given me an option to submit high school certificates that contains my name, DOB and at least one parent's name. I have submitted the required doc today itself on my immi account. Does any one know how long they will take to process this info and provide me a test date?
  11. Just checked spreadsheet, it's 07 SEP Nom and visa both.. means they have started looking at Sept as well.
  12. @tuckersgirl @Sim goraya @Sim160990... Wondering why you have been asked for Police clearance again? I dont think its been a year since you would have received your previous police clearance certificate. Is it because you changed address or states since last police clearance?
  13. Wow... Thats such a great news... Congratulations for your PR and your new born... God bless her
  14. Hey mate... I don't think MAs have any say on the processing time as such... It's all about how diligent your MA is. Some MAs will be more sincere/diligent compared to others and that's what will set them apart from other's. Just talk to your friends and go for a reliable MA. Thats all i can say.... In some cases, a good MA may finish your documentation with a lot more care so that you don't get more info requests. But again that is also based on your case officer so can't really rate MAs based on that. Hope that helps.
  15. Congratulations pauljoh1 .... That's incredible. You might wanna change your signature now
  16. Hi Kathy, Congratulations.. this is great news.... Why did immi ask you for overseas/ Aus police.checks, health assessments again? Did you submit the old ones or you had to do them all over again and then submit?
  17. Congratulations Harsha .... Its good to see that we have approvals for applications lodged by July end!
  18. Guys, Which email ID do you send an email to for contacting immi about your application status? Also, I applied on 1st Sept 2016, so is it appropriate to email immi and ask them about my application status? Regards, Abhi
